This hazard symbol precedes all important notes on safety.
Please follow these safety instructions closely to prevent possible risk of injury to persons and damage to prop-
erty.
Safety regulations
Please observe all relevant safety re-
quirements (GB: British Standards code
of practice) (see also the enclosed red
sheet headed ”Important safety in-
formation”).
In certain countries, solar collectors
must be registered or issued with a
permit in accordance with national re-
gulations.
The entire solar heating system should
be installed in accordance with the ac-
cepted rules of technology (GB: British
Standards codes of practice), observing
all relevant accident prevention regula-
tions.
Use suitable safety measures to prevent
falls, falling objects and roof damage due
to insufficient load bearing capacity, e.g.
by means of scaffolding, ladders, cable
ties etc.
Observe the maximum load for the un-
derstructure of the building and the dis-
tance from the roof edge as required by
DIN 1055.
Work on the solar heating system
Installation, maintenance and repairs
must be carried out by a competent
person (heating engineer/service con-
tractor).
Before work is undertaken on the equip-
ment/heating system/solar heating sys-
tem, the mains voltage must be
switched off (e.g. at the separate fuse
or mains electrical isolator switch) and
measures taken to prevent it from being
switched on again.
Potential equalization/lightning
protection of the solar heating sys-
tem
An electrically conductive connection of
the pipework system of the solar circuit
should be implemented in the lower part
of the building in accordance with I.E.E.
regulations.
Connection of the collector system to a
new or existing lightning protection fa-
cility or the provision of local potential
equalization should only be carried out
by competent personnel, taking into ac-
count the conditions applicable on site.
Please note:
Please read these instructions care-
fully before commencing with installa-
tion and start-up.
Failure to observe the installation, op-
erating and service instructions could
invalidate the guarantee.
The installation instructions for Viess-
mann accessories (where included in
the scope of supply) must be fol-
lowed when installing the complete
system (comprising Viessmann
modular system components).
We organise regular training courses
for installers.

Notes on installation
The collectors must be securely
mounted so that the mountings can re-
liably withstand gale-force winds.
Although the glass covers are hail-
proof, we advise users to include storm
cover in their buildings insurance as our
materials warranty does not cover
storm damage.
The collectors should, as far as pos-
sible, be oriented towards the south.
The collectors should be mounted level
so that complete venting is assured.
An air vent valve should be installed at
the highest point of the system.
Fill the solar heating system only with
Viessmann heat transfer medium ”Tyfo-
cor-HTL”.
Tyfocor-HTL is supplied in liquid form
and must not be mixed.
The piping inside the building should be
insulated in accordance with the heat-
ing system regulations.
